GearGuard™ by Gary Fong.

As you already know, I do recommend Gary Fong products. Since I became a fan of the lightsphere series, I have always visited the Gary Fong website. I have recently discovered a new product from Mr. Fong which they called the GearGuard™ by Gary Fong.

To put simply, it is a way to lock your Camera Bag so that no one will steal, or find it difficult to steal the contents of your bag. It doesn’t need to apply to a camera bag only or DSLR Bag, you can also use it on any kind of bag. You can see…

The Nissin Di866 Basic User Review

The Nissin Di866

This has been long overdue. We have put the Di866 through it’s paces as a regular user should. This review is aimed more at the regular consumer and hobbyists rather than the technically knowledgeable Professional Photographer (although you might still find this review useful).

Before the Nissin Di866 release, we have used and abused the Nissin Di622 which we now have several units of. We complained of the swivel head up and down lock mechanisms as total garbage. Di622 Flash head will fall down from a 45 degree position if we attached snoots, lightsperes and other moderately heavy diffusers and…

The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music

Last 2008 I have been looking for a replacement of my mobile phone.  I admit I am kind of a mobile phone addict since I change phones an average of 8 times a year. I thought to my self, this would be one of the last of my cellphone replacement for 2008 and I will try not to change phones for 2009, which I ultimately failed since I got a few more replacement after buying one from the store I am about to review.

KimStore is owned and managed by Miss Kim Lato, I won’t go into details about…

The Tricky Flash Sync

Fast Sync

What is the Flash Sync? How do I use it? And how do I achieve a high-speed sync?

These are a few questions you ponder about after getting your first ever external flash. First let’s clarify the meaning of “Sync”. Sync is actually a shortcut of synchronization, and synchronization is the way two objects function, move, execute at the same time in it’s simplest sense.

Now Flash Sync is all to do about the Flash Shutter. The Shutter is like your eyelids. It closes and opens much like your eyelids does. However for the Flash Shutter, the wider it is…

Getting the right color temperature, white balance and the true feel of a photograph is difficult to achieve even for seasoned photographers. Auto White Balance is a hit and miss affair, any PRO photographer you ask will tell you to set your white balance (WB) manually yourself. There are many ways to do this, and one effective method is to use a Photographic Grey card.

A Grey Card is used as a baseline of the level of White Balance the camera should apply. It balances the color of your photos much better. It is letting your camera choose a better…

Alcatel is back!

Alcatel V770

Remember this mobile phone brand? Their most memorable unit was given a moniker “The Safeguard Phone” or “The Soap Bar Phone” since it’s shape reminded the owner of a soap bar. One strong selling point of the Alcatel brand is the price. Now they have come back with better-designed phones, still at the most competitive prices.

At the age of the colored, multi-media, multi-tasking mobile phones, a lot of brands are competing for a piece of the mobile phone market. Alcatel has once again innovated a series of phones that are not too shabby, feature-rich and competitively priced. Their newest…

As I was researching for the “Best-sounding” Portable Music Player which I will also categorize with PMP (Portable Media Player), since the top two with my extensive testing and research are all PMP’s anyway.

Prior to this review, I already mentioned the second best which is the Cowon I-audio D2, basically all Cowon prior to the D2 will fall on the top 5 of the SQ (Sound Quality) scale on Gee Please. Generally though, across the line of Cowon branded music players, the SQ of the higher model Cowons is comparatively similar or a little better. If I…
